I could see that. We have redress of grievance for just such reasons.

I'm not an expert on reserves, however... the chief clerk has no say in this. It's VAC who will determine what the member is eligible for or not. The member should submit his CF98 and keep a copy.

I noticed that too. I did however here back from a ministerial aid WRT the department's performance. He mentioned that turnaround times may increase after PSAC's new collective agreement is in place. Nobody want's to put anything on that topic in writing though.

So I'm not the only one who feels like I'm talking to a "used car salesmen". They remind me of the guy who won't look you in the eye when talking to him...

Does anyone out there have a PDF of NCM Corps 2020? I have an abbreviated version printed for the Osside Institute but am looking for the full version. I have a couple of Sgts and a WO that could benefit from reading it. Actually, I think all Sr NCOs should read it. It's always a good idea to...

posted on the VAC site, "Your opinion counts. Help us make the services offered in My VAC Account reflect your needs. If you live in Montreal or Halifax, you may be eligible to participate in a focus group. If you live in other parts of the country, look for our online survey in the next few...

That CANFORGEN was given full distribution but the local pecking orders are still happening. I've already seen it and raised the flag. Old habits die very hard.

I don't know if this is a result of my comms with the Minister or MP however, my application was just sent to payments (aka Complete). For anyone who has had a RE-evaluation dated before Dec 2016, you may want to see if yours is complete or not. I suspect they may have been trying to shut me...

It's funny but ever since I engaged the Minister and MP VAC has stopped replying to my emails. >:D I guess I've annoyed them.  :bowing:

Have any of you noticed the angry hate-filled posts in the MSM forums on this attack? I find it sad to see "Canadians" supporting these horrible acts. One of the reasons I joined was to make sure crap like this wouldn't happen in Canada. I guess hatred knows no borders anymore (if it ever did).

May. Good to know. 8 months though is quick from what I hear. There are many people who have been completely forgotten by VAC. I got a letter saying "no further action required from you". 8 months later it turned out they did need me to do something. If I hadn't called they would've been happy...

I'm very sad to report that my wife didn't get anywhere near the auditorium. They held it at UofM. Every student must have skipped class to get his selfie taken with the PM. There was another spouse there who supposedly got in and raised a question WRT VAC. As for my letter writing campaign...

That's it. Mine requires medication for life. So the benefits are far more important than a few bucks now. What really bugs me is that in the service when something is f... broken; we fix it. This needs to be fixed. For example I had a young Cpl in my office today that had a service injury. I...

There's no doubt that whatever process VAC uses to resolve/adjudicate these claims is broken. I just fired off a letter to my MP and Minister Hehr yesterday to address the process. I sent a copy of that letter to VAC. Within minutes I had a long reply from VAC. They did mention that they are...

Gents, I really don't want to be "that guy" but we need to remember that anything we hear will be pure speculation at this point. The Vice has proven to be an honest and upstanding leader to many of us for years. He deserves our objectivity just as he did for us. He has not been charged with...

I waited over 20 minutes yesterday. When I finally got ahold of someone; she seemed worn-out. They must be very busy. I'll stick to my VAC account for future communications.

Good morning Gents, There was a rumour on the CF Spouses Site last night WRT a CF Pay Raise (2016). Quite often they have been misinformed but sometimes they get it right. Has anyone heard any radio chatter on this?

This definitely something for us to keep an eye on. Most of us here have been on it over the years. I remember having some really cool "day-mares" on it in East Timor. We often asked what other effects it was having on us.

A very interesting document but short on teeth.

Interesting link. I have a few Cpl/Pte that could use the advice they claim to provide. Thanks for posting this. The only thing that gets me is there's no real information on how they conduct their business. The only way to make contact is the 1-800 number. Do you know anyone who has used...
